EarthCruiser Owners Rally Leg 1 – Part 2

Day 3 – Left Hand Collet Road to Hole in the Rock On day three of the EarthCruiser Owners Rally we left to take on the steep, but beautiful Left Hand Collet Road!

Into the Jungle Alpha Goes

Jungle Time for EarthCruiser “Alpha” EarthCruiser Alpha heads into the jungle of Malaysia. During monsoon season these tracks change very quickly. When the logging road are dry, they are great, but with just a few inches of rain they are whole new experience! One must always keep this in mind.   Anywhere an EarthCruiser fits is a camp site. There was just enough flat-ish ground pushed to one side for us. We had no idea who would use the track this evening.    It’s all about the details.  Even in monsoon weather we can open the windows. How, you ask? The
